Goodbye My Sweet Coco Kitty

My sweet kitty Cossette "Coco" went on to the Rainbow Bridge tonight. I knew her days were ending soon, but I was shocked that they ended this evening. I flew to San Diego to get Coco and her cousin Angel when I was a junior in high school. They were actually supposed to be my mom and sister's pets, but I was the one who flew to pick them up., and Coco has been living with me for the last 4 years. She was a Ragdoll cat known for their sweet temperament. Coco was the best painting buddy, she knew how to fetch, she loved the puppies and was a wonderful and beautiful cat. I will forever miss her and love her.

She was so beautiful.

Here with her cousin Angel, who is also waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. She was probably about a year here? Maybe?

She loved to play outside, but it was a very special occasion when we let her!

Our family misses her already! The dogs adored her!

Rainbow Bridge Poem: this has helped me get through a loss of a pet for as long as I can remember. I have quite a few beloved friends waiting for me there!

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Jennifer - Hi. I am a fellow artist also in the Gallery Main Street show and wanted to say hi. A friend of a friend (you know how that goes) is interested in the 3 horses painting you have on display and needed to know how to find you. I sent her the link to your art website and then found your blog.

I am so sorry about your sweet Coco. My Maggie the Cat is living on what the vet calls borrowed time, but she has been for over a year, and is doing well. Nonetheless, each day I say a little prayer of thanks she is still with me.

Again, condolences on this hard loss, and congratulations re: the show. Your stuff is wonderful.

:) Debi
